A movie like this without Liam Neeson? Everyone knows the Commandant of West Point has a very special skill set!

Write this up as a treatment and it can be sent to movie agents.

Who says it's worth $1Trillion? The same people that can't balance a budget (like the rest of us have to!)? What if the global economy says it's NOT worth $1Trillion? Then what? We still default, the coin isn't worth stealing and the movie becomes a "B movie" on MeTV like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

Then we have to look at the whole conception of money and perhaps accept bitcoin as a reality. It's worth $1 trillion because someone we ostensibly trust says it is. Money's awful tricky like that!

(this might be why my mother is a big believer in having both silver jewellery and an awful lot of tinned food around; one or the other will be tradeable in the apocalypse!)

In line with the tinned food Kate, I have some strange herbal tea I wish you had. It didn’t tickle my taste buds quite like it must yours.

Taste buds are picky things! I mean, heck, I can't stand chamomile and everyone else seems to love it....

I would definitely watch this! Then again, if some producer decided to film this as a it could quickly lose its appeal. Don't get me wrong, I love a good documentary. However, in a world turned upside down in a good movie create a sense of normalcy. In this

post (?) Pandemic world a good movie might very well be the equivalent to the orchestra playing, as the Titanic sunk.

On that note, I've seen a couple movies produced by an LA based independent production company. Mister Lister Films march to their own beat. @misterlisterfilms

I'm not saying they're the best things I've ever seen but they are definitely not the worst. They just tend to capture the world in a different light. I have listed a couple of their movies for reference.

Hook. Line. Sinker. Well done.

Very entertaining. I like the female president detail. But when filming you should have Janet Yellen (the first female treasury secretary) do one of those funny cameos. Just sayin'

Proof of the old adage that truth is stranger than fiction. Loved it!
